A bit disappointed with this one. What i get mainly is sweet patchouli. Tried to like it but i guess why bother too much. 6/10

I really wanted to love this fragrance, I was extremely excited at the prospect of another AdP Colonia and one based on Ebony wood sounded delightful, unfortunately Ebano misses the mark. It starts very well, the opening is really superb, the red pepper note hits upfront, both fresh and spicy and then the unmistakable ebony note is among the best I’ve smelled, owing to the fact that it is the true focus but with touches of vetiver and other cleaner woods. Totally masculine, on the darker side with a dusty, dry feel and a hint of patch earth too. The thing which lets this perfume down is the drydown, it dries down, to creamy woods quickly and Is just a bit flat. Ebano is something which could’ve been so good and even glimpses greatness briefly but I’ve come across this before with this kind of woody scent. The drydown is passable but very boring and like something bog standard from the designer realm, I feel a bit bad giving it a hard time because it’s okay but could’ve been so much better. I’m not too bothered about the performance but it is a low lying hum as can be expected from an ebony/woods fragrance with little silage but still unusual for this line as they are usually strong. In conclusion then, I loved the opening and thought I may have hit on a holy grail of old skool, peppery, masculinity but that excitement was too short lived. I’d recommend anyone to try it but Ebano didn’t meet my high expectations.

Very good fragrance. Strong opening. Amber honey red pepper really are noticeable. A very solid fragrance, with very rich woody notes. I guess its best for night and winter. Also very oriental and unique. Scent is very rich and masculine. Performance and zillage both moderate. Radiates well on rhe skin but not offensive. I ll give it 8/10

Yes a really old school perfume. I agree totally. And no its not typical Italian. It reminds me of an old English gentlemen’s society club with well dressed men:).
It opens with the fresh-bitter aromatic note citric with petitgrain.
Then the honey sweet aroma comes through.
The vetiver is there as a basic note that stays until the end.
Then the perfume ends in the woody-warm spicy old school scent. It reminds me a bit of old spice.
Its a good perfume when y like this old school combination.
When to wear? Definitely more wintertime and more for when y like a more classic way of life. Like I said its a typical old fashioned society perfume more English than the Italian vibrant and stylish perfumes this house offers. This perfume is a bit moderate compared to other ones of this house.
In the same year AdP released two very different perfumes in 2017 that are totally the opposite of each other: This one and the Mirra version.
I can tell because i tried them on my wrists:).
I prefer the Colonia Mirra more. But they are both very well balanced with style and class.

Old school woody scent which reminds me a lot of Je suis un Homme from Etat Libre. They might not have the same notes but they are at the same level with regards to their smell. This one is less dry compared to Je suis un Homme and has a dirty aroma which Je suis un Homme doesn’t have. Overall, it is an OK scent for people above the age of 30 years. However, considering the price it is not worth all the money.
Scent: 7.5/10
Longevity: 8/10
Projection: 8/10

“Smells old school, but new. Smells so seductive.” Said a female co-worker of mine. You’ll know exactly what she means when you smell it. This is right up my alley, bought it immediately after I tested it. For grown men. Its really woody yet fresh and sweet. BTW less is more.

I believe we’ve been through this before-in the eighties.
It’s a nice scent and I think it should be worn on formal occasions, but there is really nothing new here.

A very enjoyable, elegant woody cologne. Woods are pleasant, not sharp, but dusty dull, quite smooth.

Agree with @bart4543 – relaxed version of TdH
I have AdP Leather in my personal Top5 but all latest releases – Colonia Club / Quercia / Mirra / Ebano – total disappointment imho :/
